TECHNOLOGY SERVICE: FACEBOOK database are often out of sync

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Funny how you can find people by “Find Friends”, but you can’t add them to a list or suggest them to others. I suspect that the various databases in use by facebook are not updated very frequently.

Hmm, maybe an “employment opportunity” for a FOWG from the days when “directories” were differentiated from “databases”.

You also can’t get a list of your “friends”. Is that to conceal lost data?

Fascinating!

PRODUCTIVITY: “SLUGGING”; how do we do more of it?

Avego–The New Slugging
September 19th, 2008

*** begin quote ***

I recently moved to the Washington DC area. I experimented with various different ways of commuting. I tried driving, riding the bus, and taking a train. With some help from the locals, however, I found that slugging is my ideal way to commute.

Slugging is a funny blend of carpooling and hitch-hiking. It came about over 20 years ago as a result of northern Virginia’s HOV-3 lanes. The I-95 freeway has the typical Northbound and Southbound lanes, but unlike most other freeway systems it has a third artery down the middle.

Aren’t people smart? And, without a gooferment centralize planner to ‘processize’ the process! How could that ever be?
